jay87shot’s 2023 Payroll Blueprint

[jay87shot]

Here's my post Wong/Renfroe blueprint. 

Sign Justin Turner 1/14 (team option 2 mill buyout on 14 million team option year)

Turner provides a short term middle of the order option, he can also DH vs. LHP for Winker

Trade Urias to Marlins for Tanner Scott and a prospect (Victor Mesa Jr.)

Marlins add offense we get a high end arm and something extra

Lauer and Huira to Det for Gregory Soto and a decent prospect (Wenceel Perez)

We get another top tier bullpen arm and the Tigers get a dependable starter and lottery style bat.

Ruiz, Small, and Feliciano to KC for MJ Melendez

Melendez is blocked at C, the Royals get 3 potential pieces that wouldn't be huge for our future plans.

Obviously this leaves us with some money to spend, maybe we swing a big deal at the deadline if need to.

1) LF Yeli 2) 3B Turner 3)1B Tellez 4)DH Winker 5)SS Adames  6)RF Mitchell 7) CF Frelich 8)C Melendez/Caratini 9)2B Turang

who's our 6th starter? Junk?

We need 7.

 

 

[jay87shot]

Junk eventually Gasser, could even sign someone like Wade Miley and slide Ashby to LR/6th man with some extra cash in this scenerio.

[Robocaller]

A lot of people are forgetting about Strzelecki; he's probably our 7th inning guy unless we acquire someone.
